This test measures how much you avoid/put importance on things like mold in food, hygiene practices, insects in food, sharing food, etc.

My results:


I think mine are pretty accurate. I avoid those two things the most, and the rest aren't that bad to me.

That seems pretty accurate for me.

I'm surprised because I said no to everything except fish and worms.

Not even slightly surprised





Fun test FF although some of the questions were difficult to answer, like if I found a hair in my soup , it depends whose hair and from what part of the body

I've eaten raw meat before and like nearly raw steak. I also eat all types of fish and will eat raw fish (that's prepared right). I also have eaten insects (crickets) before and liked it, though a random insect being in my food unnerves me (a fly landing for a second is okay though). I hate mold and refuse to eat anything with mold in it or that had mold on it. I'll gag and vomit if I taste or smell mold. I also share food with people and will eat food other people have eaten off of, but unclean dishes and bad hygiene practices from other people freak me out. I also don't really like overripe fruit and vegetables because the texture and taste change makes my brain think it's gone bad and makes me gag.

I'm weird about fish and seafood because they eat worms.
I'll do some kinds but not the ones in the questions.

I don't like much fruit period, again because of worm phobia.
Berries, pineapple, and bananas are usually safe.
I won't do red apples because they can be mushy and questionable in that way.
Green ones are safe but I have to cut them in slices rather than biting in.

Here are my GF's results. I am surprised.

Could be slightly skewed, I had to guess on some foods I can't stand at all. Insect contaminants - it really depends what kind. A fly landing on something for a moment, I'd just remove that piece. If it was something sitting out with a fly/flies present, no. A caterpillar on produce, I'd just rinse it. A worm, I wouldn't touch it. Anything on the inside, no way. I tend to be paranoid about food safety in general because I have a phobia of parasites, but I try to be rational, to an extent.

Given that my immune system is screwed up, and partly from long-term, multiple years, exposure to mold, yes, mold is a huge issue.

Vegetable result has some percentage of influence from avocado being used as a question food, I'm allergic to those jokers.

The smell of fresh fish shop question was impacted by my having grown up in seaports because Dad was in the Navy.
Seafood, to a percentage, smells like home.

The difference between not being meticulous towards food from picky eating...

In which this does not reflect my pickiness.
However, this reflects more that I cannot afford a lot of care around food.


Also I had been dealing with poor olfactory senses for most of my life, for reasons nothing to do with autism.

Wrinkled veg doesn't bother me.Soak in cool water overnight in fridge and they plump back up.Soft fruit becomes a pie or cobbler.If it’s rotten the chickens get it.
Same for bugs, I grow organically so there is always a bug.
Human hair, if it’s mine no biggie.
Someone’s else’s is disturbing.
I used to help butcher deer so raw meat doesn’t bother me.
With mold that depends, a small bit on cheese I just remove.Same for jellies and jams.If it is covered in mold like a blanket I toss in trash.
Chickens get the moldy bread.
